Product details
Overview
PCI7411GHK from Texas Instruments is a single-socket UltraMedia PC Card controller with integrated IEEE 1394a-2000 OHCI PHY/Link-layer controller and flash media interface. It supports 100/200/400 Mbps FireWire™ data rates, operates with 1.5-V core and 3.3-V I/O, complies with PCI Local Bus Spec 2.3 and PC Card Standard 8.1, and targets notebook expansion card designs requiring high-speed serial bus connectivity and removable storage support.
For engineers reviewing the PCI7411GHK datasheet, PCI7411GHK pinout, PCI7411GHK application, or PCI7411GHK equivalent, key selection considerations include its single-socket CardBus architecture, IEEE 1394a-2000 compliance (including multispeed concatenation and port suspend/resume), PCI power management states D0–D3, and integrated flash media socket control for SD/MMC/Memory Stick/PRO/SmartMedia/XD cards.
Technical Context
The PCI7411GHK implements a dedicated 1394a-2000 PHY-Link layer with full support for arbitration acceleration, fly-by concatenation, and port disable/suspend/resume - all executed in hardware without host CPU intervention. Its PCI interface handles burst transfers and deep FIFO buffering to absorb host latency while maintaining 132-MBps throughput on both PCI and CardBus buses.
It integrates ExCA-compatible register mapping in memory or I/O space, Intel 82365SL-DF register compatibility, and programmable multifunction terminals for LED control, IRQ signaling, and ACPI-compliant GPIO. The device uses a 24.576-MHz crystal to generate precise 1394 timing and supports serialized IRQ, ring indicate, SUSPEND, and CLKRUN protocols.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IEEE 1394 Speeds | 100/200/400 Mbps - enables backward-compatible FireWire/i.LINK operation across legacy and modern peripherals |

Pinout & Package
PCI7411GHK is housed in a 288-pin MICROSTAR BGA package (package drawing GHK), measuring 17 mm × 17 mm with 0.8-mm ball pitch. Pinout information is not publicly documented in TI's SLLA248 datasheet or packaging addendum; no verified pin assignment table is available from TI official sources or authorized distributors (Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow). Therefore, a validated pinout table cannot be constructed per quality threshold requirements.
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1394a-2000 PHY/Link Layer | Eliminates need for discrete 1394 transceiver and link controller, reducing BOM count and board area in CardBus add-in cards |
| Single UltraMedia Socket Controller | Manages PC Card/CardBus insertion/removal, power sequencing, and signal routing for one physical slot - simplifies mechanical design vs dual-socket variants |
| PCI Power Management D0–D3 | Enables OS-directed power state transitions including suspend-to-RAM and resume-without-reinitialization, critical for mobile battery life |
| ExCA-Compatible Register Mapping | Allows direct integration with standard PC Card software stacks (e.g., Windows CE, Linux PCMCIA subsystem) without custom driver development |
| 24.576-MHz Crystal Timing Reference | Provides stable, low-jitter clock source for 1394 isochronous transfers at all supported speeds without external PLL tuning |
Applications
| Portable Notebook Expansion Cards | Digital Camcorder Docking Stations |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding FireWire and flash media read/write capability to thin-and-light notebooks via CardBus slot.

Use Scenario: Docking station that connects MiniDV camcorders and memory cards to desktop PCs via PCI add-in card. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Host-side 1394 OHCI controller with integrated flash socket - manages isochronous streaming and block-based media access. Use Value: Supports simultaneous 1394 video ingest and SD card backup at native 400 Mbps, eliminating USB bottlenecks in prosumer workflows. |
| Legacy Industrial Data Acquisition Modules | Embedded Media Gateways |
Use Scenario: Retrofitting aging test equipment with FireWire-connected sensors and removable flash logging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PCI-to-1394/flash bridge providing deterministic interrupt latency and hot-plug-safe socket control. Use Value: Maintains compatibility with existing PCI backplanes while adding modern media interfaces - extends product lifecycle without redesign. |
Use Scenario: Compact gateway converting 1394 audio/video streams to networked storage using SD or Memory Stick. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Integrated controller managing concurrent 1394 isochronous receive and flash media write operations. Use Value: Achieves sustained 400 Mbps 1394 throughput with zero-copy DMA to flash - avoids host memory bandwidth contention in headless systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IEEE 1394 host controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCI7421GHK | Dual-socket UltraMedia controller with identical 1394a-2000 PHY/Link and flash media support - adds second CardBus socket and associated power/control logic | Required when supporting two independent PC Cards (e.g., combo FireWire + modem card) or dual-media configurations | Select PCI7421GHK only if dual-socket functionality is needed; otherwise PCI7411GHK reduces cost and layout area |
| PCI7611GHK | Single-socket variant with added Smart Card controller and secure I/O - includes additional cryptographic registers and contact interface logic | Targeted at secure peripheral docking (e.g., government ID readers + FireWire) where Smart Card authentication is mandatory | Choose PCI7611GHK when Smart Card support is required; PCI7411GHK omits this circuitry for simpler, lower-cost implementations |
Compared with PCI7421GHK and PCI7611GHK, the PCI7411GHK delivers minimal-footprint 1394a-2000 host control with flash media support - ideal for cost-sensitive, single-slot expansion cards where dual sockets or Smart Card features are unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCI7411GHK?
The PCI7411GHK is a single-socket UltraMedia PC Card controller with integrated IEEE 1394a-2000 OHCI PHY/Link-layer and flash media interface. It serves as a PCI-to-CardBus bridge while enabling FireWire™ connectivity and direct SD/MMC/Memory Stick/PRO/SmartMedia/XD card control. The PCI7411GHK eliminates the need for separate 1394 transceivers and media controllers in notebook expansion cards.
Is the PCI7411GHK pin-compatible with other devices in the PCI7x11 family?
No verified pin-compatibility statement exists between PCI7411GHK and other PCI7x11 variants like PCI7611GHK. Although all share the same 288-pin MICROSTAR BGA (GHK) package, TI documentation confirms functional differences - notably Smart Card controller inclusion in PCI7611GHK - implying distinct pin assignments for secure I/O. The PCI7411GHK pinout remains undocumented and unverified.
Does the PCI7411GHK support Windows operating systems?
Yes, the PCI7411GHK is Windows Logo Program 2.0 compliant and supports standard ExCA-compatible drivers. It works with Windows 2000, XP, and later versions via generic OHCI 1394 and PCMCIA class drivers. The PCI7411GHK requires no custom INF files for basic enumeration, though OEMs may provide optimized drivers for flash media performance.
What power management features does the PCI7411GHK implement?
The PCI7411GHK supports full PCI power management states D0–D3 per specification 1.1, including automatic device power-down during suspend, PCI power management for the link-layer, and inactive port power-down. It also includes ultralow-power sleep mode and conforms to Intel Mobile Power Guideline 2000. These features are implemented in hardware and require no firmware intervention - the PCI7411GHK responds directly to PCI PME# and CLKRUN signals.
Why is the PCI7411GHK marked as OBSOLETE by Texas Instruments?
Texas Instruments designated PCI7411GHK as OBSOLETE in August 2013, indicating discontinuation of production. This reflects market transition from CardBus-based expansion to ExpressCard and USB-based interfaces. While no new units are manufactured, Aetrix Electronics maintains traceable inventory and supports legacy designs requiring the PCI7411GHK for repair, replacement, or long-lifecycle industrial deployments.
